We’ve done a few of these kinds of tours as a family in different places and sometimes they can feel a little bit forced. That absolutely wasn’t the case with Sofia. Very quickly it stopped feeling like a tour and instead turned into a fun afternoon for all of us, with the kids staying interested and enjoying the places we visited, while we ate, drank and chatted like old friends. We would never have thought to visit these spots ourselves and everything was lovely!

Our tour of Valencia was fantastic! We had Luciana, who was friendly and knowledgeable. She went at just the right pace, and we enjoyed the sights and snacks along the way. Our daughter is 11 years old and also really enjoyed it. We would recommend this tour!
Diego is the perfect guide for a nice and enjoyable walk through Valencia old town. We felt very much at ease with him as a family, and he was great with our two children 👏👍 He’s highly recommended.
Alessia was a wonderful guide! She was filled with knowledge of the city and presented it in an interesting way. Our children were engaged and enjoyed Alessia's games. When the tour was over, our ten year old proclaimed that Alessia was her favorite tour guide of our trip. The three hour tour was perfect and we remained at the museum for two hours when the tour concluded. Be sure to leave enough time for that.
Bravo to Diego! We had an amazing time in such a beautiful city. Valencia has so much to offer, and Diego clearly knows it inside and out. He was very easy to talk to, took the time to understand what interested us as a family with teenagers, and was always open to our suggestions. We ended up trusting his lead completely, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Valencia is beautiful, and we will definitely come back! 🥰
Thank you, Daniel, for a delightful three-hour walk around Valencia. As a family, we really appreciated how you showed us everything we hoped to see at a comfortable pace while sharing so much interesting information along the way. It was such a pleasure spending that time together.
Daniel is an exceptional guide with a deep understanding of history, art, and culture. He’s adaptable in his approach and explains everything in a relaxed, engaging way that never feels forced. We were a family of four — my husband, our 9-year-old twins, and me — and he kept all of us interested the entire time. At one point, he even turned our kids’ random questions into a fun little history moment that had us all laughing and learning at the same time. Daniel easily ranks among the best guides we’ve ever had.
Mateo was a wonderful guide and the whole experience was fantastic. He took time to explain every key detail and answered all our questions with patience. He kept everything simple and engaging for the kids, which made the day smooth for our family group. He even wrote to us afterward with tips for the best traditional restaurants and horchata spots. If you’re traveling as a family, don’t think twice—this tour is absolutely worth it!
We had just arrived in Valencia and were unsure whether to join a tour — thankfully, we did! It turned out to be an incredible family experience. Javier, our guide, was outstanding — friendly, patient, and so passionate about his city. We explored charming neighborhoods away from the crowds, learned a ton, and truly felt the local vibe. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our trip.
I can’t recommend Javier enough as a tour guide! He’s such a passionate storyteller who makes Valencia come alive with his energy and warmth. Right from the beginning, he made all feel comfortable and welcome — something that means a lot when you’re exploring with kids. His love for the city shines through every story he shares, and he even customized the tour to match everyone’s interests. Afterward, he sent me a thoughtful list of extra places to check out based on our chat. The ideal way to begin our adventure in Valencia — thank you, Javier!
Andrés was a fantastic guide, shaping the walk perfectly around our love for history and food. He paid wonderful attention to my eight-year-old twins, who absolutely adored him. We discovered so much about the beauty of Valencia during our twilight tour and even revisited some of the spots the next day. Thanks to his great recommendations, we tasted incredible local specialties. A perfect way for a family to connect with a new city and its culture.
Daniel crafted a tour that really matched our family’s interests and somehow kept our two kids engaged with the stories behind Valencia’s streets, architecture, and past. This was especially impressive since we’d already done another city tour just days earlier—yet nothing felt repetitive. Instead, everything layered together and gave us a richer perspective of the city. It truly added something special to our stay in Valencia.
Sofia was a fantastic guide for Valencia. She had deep insight into the city’s diverse architectural styles, and her enthusiasm for them shone throughout the tour for all ages. We truly loved our time with Sofia and would happily seek her out again if we come back.
We had a wonderful experience with Bruno. The time flew by as he shared fascinating stories and facts about Valencia. Our daughter was thrilled with the activities he had planned for her. Five stars.
Super cool, relaxed, fun walk with knowledgeable guide Maximiliano. Individual, without crowd) just perfect with always bored kid, who finally liked it 😅 Thank you!
It was such a great start in Valencia. What a lovely city! Fran really knew the city inside and out and shared so many interesting details about the history, culture, and local life — but in a way our kids 8 and 11 never felt overwhelming. The walk was relaxed, fun, and we came away with a much better feel for the city and lots of ideas for what to see next. Totally worth it!
Mariela was an amazing tour guide! She was captivating, spoke clearly, and truly seemed to love leading the tour. We discovered so much about Valencia! We’re so happy we took this tour! My little daughter and young teenage daughter both absolutely enjoyed it! Highly recommend this experience!!
